Ray Comfort

Ray Comfort is a New Zealand-born minister and evangelist. Comfort is the founder of Living Waters Publications and The Way of the Master in Bellflower, California, and has written a number of Christian books. He has a pretty funny personality.

He has written for Billy Graham's Decision magazine and Bill Bright's Worldwide Challenge. His literature is used by the Moody Bible Institute, Leighton Ford Ministries, Campus Crusade for Christ, Institute in Basic Life Principles, and the Institute for Scientific & Biblical Research. He has also written roughly fifty books and is a regular platform speaker at Southern Baptist State Conferences. His videos were seen by over 30,000 pastors in 1992, and he has spoken in more than 700 churches from most denominations.

For roughly two-and-a-half years, Comfort and his son-in-law LWP general manager Emeal "EZ" Zwayne would most weekdays open-air preach at the Bellflower courthouse a few blocks from their ministry. However, on September 30, 2005, Comfort and Zwayne were approached by two county police officers, who informed them that "Judge William A. MacLaughlin issued a court order forbidding public speech on the public property of any courthouse in Los Angeles County" on September 13, 2005. They have sued the county for $25 and are being represented by the Alliance Defense Fund.

Ray Comfort lives with his wife Sue in Southern California, and they have three adult children Jacob, Rachel, and Daniel.
